The big one grabbed the scrawny monster by the hooks embedded in his flesh

"Where do you think you're going scrawny?" He growled "You aren't in scourge colors"

"of course not, I don't want to be in your war, I'm not of either side' the monster squeaked pathetically as the other monster held him over his head like a toy

"Doesn't matter, you walked in the middle of a raid" the monster snorts "And we don't leave a soul behind in our path"

the other scourgemen chuckled as the monster squirmed weakly

"don't kill me, I..I can get you gold...uh, maybe not gold but uh" He stumbled on his words as the big monster snicked

"Oh no, Our lady always needs more slaves, and you know us monsters last longer than fragile humans" The monster said, sneering wide enough to show his real teeth over the edges of his mask

and then with a quick headbutt, Higa fell still as his bucket shattered and spread its pieces all over the charred ground.

Meanwhile not far from this doomed town, a strangely fat RV tottered along, pulled by a fallen angel. Inside of it sat five damned souls and a beast, lazing around or greedily eating magical sweets.

But on the couch sat that little lucky demon and her master, having just spent and hour or two practicing magic.

So old friends, ready for some fun?

Okay what did we learn to do HM, what trick did Iris teach us?

[] MALIZERAL

"I don't get why we had to repeat all that again" I sigh as I wiggle my hands in the air, watching the bright green alchemical dust drift down the air as I hear Kelly desperatly trying to fill her stomach with something that isn't still breathing and bleeding "Couldn't we have tried something new"

"Well we could have, but it's safer to just practice what we know" My master says as she lays against me, pushing her glasses up her nose with her fur covered hands "Make sure we've got it down first before trying anything too...wild"

"Oh come on" I groan as I flop down onto her lap, making her wince and jolt as my soft weight falls on her "All the best tricks I know I came up with on the fly, why do we have to practice?"

"Honey, you get ideas easier when you're in mortal danger or are just running on your instincts" Iris sighs, brushing my hair with her claws as I hear Marcy laughing happily as Blondie groans in frustration "I get them better when I'm reading or practicing, okay it's just that simple"

I smirk happily and look up hoping to see something good, but I just sigh and droop my wings when I see that they're just playing with some cards.

What do I say?

>>49082906
HEY HM!

How long until that sin 'o Aliths fully forms? Do we need to help trigger it?

>>49082906
Speaking of which, anyway for the angel to get stronger?

I stare at them, feeling a little pissed off for no real good reason as Iris continues explaining why we need to keep practicing, talking about tactics and other noble kind of things. But I don't really pay attention, since that little voice in the back of my head is slowly making me madder and more frustrated. Blondie and short are sitting at a table I made, and even though I own their souls, they can't just make a little lust for me? I mean I know they like it to, but I'm really starving right now, and I guess just the sight of them doing something so mind numbingly boring has ticked me off a bit.

I growl, and Iris pats my head roughly.

"Mali no" She says flatly, but sternly

"But" I say meekly, glancing away from her and the table of boringness "I'm..I'm just a little peckish"

"I know, but still you're letting your instincts control your actions again" She says sadly "I mean I don't really care what you make them do, since they did sell their souls to you"

"Huh?" Marcy asks, sounding a bit confused

"Oh like you didn't do the same" Blondie grumbles angrily, tossing her cards on the table as she pouts, as Lacy smiles sheepishly and puts down her cards "OH COME ON SERIOUSLY? Did you ask Queen horny over their to bless you with luck or something"

"No" Lacy squeaks as she covers her face with one of her hands.

"I gave it to her" Iris sighs, cleaning her glasses with a flick of her fingers and a bit of magic "Unlike you I didn't agree to servitude eternal for basically nothing, it was a gift and most of the time she still obeys what I say"

"Oooh, You've made her mad now" Marcy giggles as Blondie shuts up, her face turning almost as red as mind does sometimes

"Buuuurned" I say teasingly as I rock my head back and forth, before boredom stabs my hear again, and I throw a bit of a tantrum, kicking my legs and flapping my wings furiously

Oh man if this is Elli I can just see her going "Oh man how do I apologize to Jasmine....What do people like....Uh SLAVES! YES! People like slaves! I'll get her a lot of those!"

>>49083232
"HOW CAN TODAY BE SO BORING, I WANT SOMETHING EXCITING TO HAPPEN ALREADY"

Iris stares at me blankly for a second, her hair sticking out at random angles in a big tangled mess from what I just did. She huffs and pushes her glasses back into place

"If you're so bored why don't we get back to practicing, so you don't end up doing anything..." She says, pausing midsentence, but I get what she means

"Alright...but only because you're cute" I pout as I stand up, whispering Alitharium's name to make her stop dead in her tracks so we can get out of the cabin

"Glad you're so enthusistic" Iris says snarkily, digging her claws into my side as I open the door "ahh...no reaction"

"Eh?" I say glancing at her "Well I mean I could buut"

"Forget it" She sighs, shaking her head "Now...do you remember what we were doing?"

I tilt my head as I step my barefeet in the burning sand.

What were we doing?

Dang, I was hoping to keep an angel around for the rest of the quest.

>>49083499
That would fall under "other secret ways" I imagine.

Having a Fallen Angel is way cooler than another Demon anyway.

>>49083371
>[] Summoning weapons out of mirrors
Holy crap, gates of Babylon

>>49083499
We haven't made any decisions yet, HM's just hinting at our options. And personally I'd like to give Alith more power, and more confidence, and the best way to do tha is to turn her into the living embodiment of Horse Pussy.

Someone post a pic of Centorea, I don't have any.

>>49083513
Agreed.

"Using change magic to keep myself safe from attacks, cause you were worried about me" I say after a moment off rubbing my chin with both of upper arms, as I wrap my lower arms just under my breasts "Right?"

"Yes...yes" She says, smiling happily and making the world seem a little bright because of it, as she steps away from me, up next to Alith, who looks at her, still frozen and waiting for my command "Though the exact words I used were "Defensive" and "Nullifying most attacks" But that doesn't really matter now does it Love"

I take a step back as she wraps her wings around herself and smiles the same sick smile of her mother.

"So are you ready to start we we left off Mali?" She asks meekly and softly "I promise I won't go too crazy, but do remember this is training for actual combat"

"I'm not worried about that, it's just that smile is kind of creeping me out" I say sheepishly, as Iris stops and blushes a bit, nodding slowly. "Sorry"

"It's fine, all of my family smiles like that, I can understand why it unnerves you, what with what mother did to you" She says as she holds one of her hands out, black smoke pouring out of it as she draws on my smithing magic "NOW BEGIN~!"

"WAIT!" I shout, holding all four of my arms in front of me, covering my body with the lower ones as I wave the upper ones around trying to get Iris' attention as she starts to calculate how she's going to launch what ever she's planning to throw at me "I'M NOT READY YET IRISSSSS"

Her eyes are already clouded over, this is really really bad. I try to grasp my magic, but I'm panicking too much, my hearts beating to much. The black smoke grows and stretches itself out, turning solid like a thick plate of metal. It begins to ripple as jagged arrow head and blades begin to peek out.

I close my eyes, and whimper, trying my best to use my magic in the half a second I have left to react before I get a few extra hole in me.

there's the sound of sharp thing flying through the air, cutting it as I brace myself and feel a pillow hit my face.

Follow by several knives and arrows sticking into and sinking into my gut and arms.

I gasp and focus my magic on them as I try not to cry out in pain as tears drip down my cheeks. I open my eyes, and see four pillows laying at my feet.

And at least double that in arrows sticking out of me, slowly turning plush. Were they've turned already is stained with my black blood.

It still burns and hurts.

I look up at Iris, and see her staring at me. She's frozen with horror, and her eyes are wet with guilt and worry for what she just did and me

What do I do?

I laugh loudly as I realize I'm no dead or dying, and grab one of the still sharp arrows stuck between my flesh and bone, and rip it out. Or I try to buuut, it really fucking hurts. It makes my laugh turn into a whimper as I desperately trying to dig it out of skin, by twisting it around which seemed like a good idea for the entirety of a quarter second. OKAY I NEED TO GET THIS OUT OF ME RIGHT NOW OR I'M GOING TO START CRYING AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO CRY IN FRONT OF HER AGAIN.

I bite my tongue and pull as hard as I can, wincing and tasting blood as the arrow comes out, and not cleanly. I crush it in my hand, well maybe I can salvage this and still look a little cool. Chuckling weakly, I turn back to Iris and tilt my head, covering the bleeding hole the arrow left in my shoulder.

And I see her still standing there, a crying mess. I rush over to her as fast as I can and hug her, hearing the two remaining arrows that haven't turned into stuffed toys and fallen out of her crack and snap against her.

She blubbers something, her usual cool demenor gone as she shakes in my arms, looking a little tramatized as she tries to say something...and...she's trying to say sorry, but she's crying so much she's slurring practically every bit of it. My heart twists around in my chest, and falls a bit as I feel tears starting to pool in my eyes again.

I grab her face with my top set of hands and squish her cheeks as I smile as happily as I can, while biting my tongue back so she doesn't see that I bit into it to stop myself from crying in pain...terrible, terrible pain

"Hey, I'm a demon" I say, pressing my forehead and horns to hers as I brush some of her hair and tears away with my lower arms "It'd take a lot more than this to kill me, trust me I've seen what it takes to kill things like me"

She stares up at me for a few moments and frowns, sniffling as a few near bloody tears drip down her face.

"I know it isn't" She says guiltily and sadly, puffing her cheeks out a bit "But it still hurt you, and I can't stand that Mali...I don't really like hurting people, I know it's strange but...I've never got the taste for it, and I especially don't like hurting you, you've gone through so much and I..I"

Silly anon, you have to die to get into heaven. And Iris dying is NOT. AN. OPTION. EVER. Are we clear? Besides, heaven sounds boring as fuck compared to the glorious madness the world has evolved into.

>>49084419
>heaven sounds boring as fuck
Looking at what angels in this setting are like, i imagine heaven is likely a lot of things, boring not being one of them.
Though if we consider Iris dying a possibility, better option is it to just become the highest ranking Lust Demon so we are in charge of wherever she goes.

>>49084259
>[] Kiss her to shut her up

>>49084448
That is the plan, and form there we take over all of hell. And your right, based on Alith alone heaven is probably cool. But the thing with Iris dying is that, even if we become the new Queen of Lust, Layla would hear about it. And she would EVISCERATE US. So Iris dying is not an option. Ever.

"Stop Crying" I command, bonking her head with my horns, gently of course since I couldn't stomach hurting her either.

She stops instantly, and looks up at me with a confused and kind of angry look on her face. But it doesn't really stick since her face is still all soaked with tears, and she's just too cute when she's like this...no mali, stay focused, need to make her happy again, stop thinking about what I want to do to her

"What?" She says tilting her ears "Mali you can't just"

I pick her up with a hug, and press my horns on her head again, pouting as I breath in.

"Iris, you might be adorable when you're crying, but I can't stand seeing you upset" I say cooly, watching her blush as I lean closer to her and she starts to look even cuter as her ears droop down "Sure you hurt me, but accidents don't mean anything, I mean you know I've had worse, so why are you crying over this, come on! SMILE, BE HAPPY"

She blinks and looks away from me, trying not to look embarrassed.

"Idiot" She sighs slowly as I set her down and cross my arms with a huff "You such and idiot...how could some as nice as you end up with the luck you have huh? It just isn't"

"I said, stop feeling bad about yourself' I say sternly as I flick my hands, throwing out magic, making the sands swirl around, drawing smiley faces into them as the alchemy dust floating through the air makes it almost as colorful as my skin, making parts of it pop up into the air like little fireworks that drop small, carefully wrapped dainty pieces of candy around iris.

She shakes her head, trying not to giggle as tiny parachutes open up and make them slowly float down to her feet. She covers her mouth, shuddering as that last of her tears drip down her cheeks

"I really don't wanna laugh right now" She says happily "Dammit mali, I'm trying to sulk and you just have to be as sweet as usual, dammit hahahaha"

"HELP ME!" Hagi screams as I turn and growl, seeing the scrawny monster running through the constant blanket of smoke "I DO NOT WANT TO BE A SLAVE, THAT ISN'T WHAT HAGI IS FOOOOOR"

"HAaaagiiii" I hiss as I hold Iris close to me as she looks at the strange monster in confusion

"Oh right the bandit" She chuckles after a second of though "Guess he underestimated his quarry...shame isn't it"

He's wearing a different bucket, and his hands are chained together

"Ahhh, Millah!" He cries out as he spots Iris "Uh..uh Malia, save me! scourgemen are after poor hagi!"

And no sooner does he dive under and between my legs, does a massive figure that looks like it's made out of sand and stone steps out, followed by a small girl her head wrapped in bandages. A drooling mouth peeks out where her left eye should be, and the rest of her is disturbingly pale

"HAND OVER THE CURR" the big one roars "He's gone against the wishes of our lady and made me fucking run after his scrawny ass"

"Yah yah" the girl says with an accent that's...well I think it's from those frozen northen lands...russia "He's an escaped slave, and well, rules of the waste state if you're to be trusted you must hand him over"

"For execution" the big one cries, making Hagi shriek a bit like a seagull

"Ha, these are friends of mine, they wouldn't dare turn me over, we've had plenty of adventures friends, yes?" He says grabbing onto my leg, making Iris stomp on his head, looking pretty pissed off

The big guy reaches for a sword like hagi's except bigger

"Well friend of scum is usually" the big one begins to say, grinning past that weird toothed metal mask he's wearing showing his real teeth

"UH!" I say loudly, interuptting him before he can continue, holding up two of my hands as he tilts his head looking pissed off "We don't really know him"

"And wasn't your name Higa?" Iris asks, looking down at the weird monster with disgust

"Oh good" the big monster laughs, swinging his blade around as he walks closer to me "So you wouldn't mind me taking his head right now then...also, nice accents, very pretty"

"NOOooo please, I've done nothing wrong I...I was trying to save the humans, they..er they took them from the town" he says in a panic, grabbing my leg, and getting another kick from Iris "They weren't even using da marrow"

"You are a really terrible liar" Iris says blunty, and sourly

"Yep, now, sorry bucket head but I'm going to" the rock monster says, before I grab his sword arm and glare at him

"Mali" iris says sternly as I bare my teeth and growl

"Don't bring that anywhere near my master" I say venomously, spitting on his rough, sandy tan face "well we'll see if Pastry can feel regret"

"Mali" Iris repeats in exasperation, covering her eyes

"Iris?" I ask tilting my head towards her as her ears droop down

"Is that a threat?" the big guy asks sounding actually confused instead of pissed off and wanting to take my head

"I don't know, I think she may be sun addled" the girl says, snapping the massive mouth on her face, or I can't really tell if she did, but she's making weird slobbering noise "Also...it's really pissing me off looking at her, it hurts my eyes"

Let's see if we can get them to take us to their boss, that'll save us a trip. And the only reason I want to save Higa is because I like violence and his accent still amuses me. And that weird chick sounds like a bitch.

Man I like Higa a lot but I can't see any IC reason for us to save him unless Iris tells us to and this makes me sad ;_;

"Oh sorry Iris" I say meekly as I see how intently she's staring at me "No, it's just a warning really, ya know"

"Hmm" the big guy grunts as He grabs Higa by his legs, pulling him away from my legs as he clings onto them desperately, crying out in that weird language of his "Don't do it again, had a long enough day"

"Yeah, She's just easily excitable and likes to dance with danger as often as she can" Iris says as she wraps her arm around my neck "We don't want any trouble"

"Pleeeheheaaase" Higa whimpers weakly, clawing at the sand as the big guy lifts him up like a sack of potatoes

"Shut up!" the girl growls, snapping at him and making him wince

"Hu, well thanks for you assistance, you'll want to get off the road, the rest of our army will be coming through when we're done having out fun" the big pile of rocks and sand snorts

"Wait" I say holding one of my wings up as I scratch my chin with one of my four hands "Are you guys bandits to? cause from what crazy bucket head is saying, it sounds like you were raiding a village"

"We were" the monster says bluntly, smiling around his mask again "Whats it to you?"

"You work for one of the dragons, don't you" I ask, grinning as Iris sighs

"Yeah, the scourge is our master" the girl hisses "Again why do you ask"

they reach for their weapons and glare at me

Gotta ask the master/sex slave, her opinion is more important than our's right now.

"Who is she?" I ask tilting my head as I see them threateningly pull their blades out an inch, looking at me with looks in their eyes, telling me to stop asking questions and shut up "And is she looking for a fairy?"

"We aren't telling you that, you idiot" the girl growls "Now you'd do well to shut up about it"

"No one needs to know about the scourge" the big one snorts "Especially if they want to keep their pretty little heads"

I gulp and shake my head as I can hear Alith grunting in anger, as she struggles to move against my words to get at them. I look up at Iris, and see her determined glare.

She leans close to my ear and whispers

"Make them talk, Malizeral" She says, as I frown and then smile happily

They must be parched after being here for so long chasing after some lowlife bandit.

>>49085770
Iris can eat memories. All we need to do is turn them into something delicious, as raw meat isn't to her tastes.

"What she say?" Mr big and rude grunts, pointing the blade he's carrying around right in Iris' face, making me freeze up with rage as she stares back at him smugly and smiles.

"Just saying that what she did was very rude" Iris says sweetly "And well, that...she should make amends for it"


"Tch, have enough slaves waiting for me back in the town, don't need her to" He snorts, patting some dust off of the rocks on his shoulders

"Oh but you got to be thirsty right?" I say as Iris walks away looking a little pissed off as her ears wiggle around adorably "I mean chasing after that idiot through a desert must be hard work, I bet you're all horribly parched right?"

"Well yeah" the girl says slowly as she glances at the big one, who nods "But you've got to prepare it in front of us"

"No tricks' the big one chuckles, as I grin.

I doubt they can see Alchemical dust as well as I can, hell they might not even be able to see it at all

Considering we have 12 Pot, a 25 is likely enough.

Let's pump it further next level, i want to be immune to critfailing magic rolls, and a +20 mod itself lets us do some stupidly good shit.

>>49086029
I agree completly, we need to shotgun Pot up to 20 for the next four levels or so. And then Archmage Mali is really going to kick off.

>>49086029
I am fine with chipping away at potential little by little. I still want to make sure we have a little more in our other stats too.

And someone suggested we should get muscles to please Iris, which means at least one point in strength is required.

>>49086029
20 potency... We get a Marble Phantasm due to our Creation and Change magic.

>>49086093
Agreed, I wanna see Iris being distracted by stupid sexy Mali abs.

>>49086096
If we get a Reality Marble, do you with is would be like CandyLand except that everything is shaped like a weapon or a lewd pose of Iris? Because that sounds perfect to me.

>>49086096
What is that, and how do you know that?

Is it some sort of familiar? What other familiar thingies are there?

>>49086096
Uhg let's not bring that shit into this quest.

"Well are magic tricks okay?" I ask playfully, and only get their glares as a response as Iris stands next to Alith, gently petting the still frozen in place angel "Oh come on, all I can do with my magic is make food, what could I do with that"

They snicker and nod in consent. I smile and bow like a proper lady would, and snap my fingers, smiling as I twirl around. I catch the tray that falls with my lower hands, and grab the tall wine glasses that come out of nowhere to join it.

the girl claps, before the big guy slaps her back to make her stomp. She just glares at him as I catch the colorful juices and liquor dripping down from the air, putting a fruit and little paper parasol in each glass before I rub salt around the edges.

I twist around one last time, and shove two crystal straws I make out from the palm of my hand, watching the alchemical dust melt away into the drink as I twist back around and set the plate down.

I hold my hands up, and slowly and very cautiously, they grab the drinks. They sniff them, dip their fingers in it and taste is supiciously. They smile and nod, sucking on them before they take the first drink and fall over, their faces frozen in shock as their eyes dart around.

the big one groans and the little one whimpers as Iris walks up to them, with a cruel look in her eyes

"Thanks Sweetie" She says, kissing my hand as her smile vanish "Now...if you'd excuse me, I think I could get information of them easier"

I think he's talking about a Reality Marble, an incredibly powerful magic that let's the user teleport herself and her opponent into a reality of her own creation. Here is an example:

Its a Fate/Stay Night thing, and he doesn't know he just speculates/fantasizes.

Technically its something we already do, i.e. its overlaying reality with your own. Just in this case so completly its basically trapped in your own "world".

>>49086168
Aaargh! Now i have to be an asshole and correct you on the fact that a marble phantasm and reality marble are not the same thing. Marble phantasm is the ability to project your WILL upon reality, while Reality Marbles are you LITERALLY switching your soul outwards instead of inwards.
But yeah i would imagine Mali's soul would look like that.
>>49086185
I am making a joke about how if we get high enough potency we gain the ability to just change the world anyway we want to with creation and change magic. Marble Phantasms are a concept from Nasuverse. I just used it as and easy example of what we could be able to do and not because I would know that we would gain one.

>>49086337
No worries I am just an neurotic asshole like that.
And yes Candy weapons and lewd iris everywhere.

>>49086093
I don't want abs. I would prefer it if Iris went for them instead and we tease her about having them.

>>49086226
>[] let her do it
>[] Wait for praises

>>49086430
Trust me, I'm exactly the same way when people mess up thing I'm familiar with, so it's all good. Candy statues of lewd Iris is my new priority by the way.

>>49086451
Boo! Boo I say!

>>49086093
>which means at least one point in strength is required
Actually not. If we take Shapeshifting subschool we can have abs whenever we feel like it.

"Alright" I say, putting my upper arms behind my neck, and my lowers one behind my back "So what are you going to do to them anyways?"

Iris pushes her glasses up and looks up at the sunless sky. If there was any light coming down, her glass would be shining ominously.

"Something that would make mother proud" She says, slowly sneering a very wicked looking smile as she glances back to me.

I shudder and shake my head, don't want to imagine what that means.
-

I look back at Mali, and she shakes her head, maybe in disgust? Disappointment? nooo, I doubt mali would ever feel that was about me..does she even dislike torture? I mean from my experience she seems to find it kind of funny actually..then again her kind of torture is plenty different from mother's kind of torture. I blush and cover my face with one of my hands, and look back at Mali as she huffs to get my attention.

She's bending forward, looking up at me in a begging sort of way, with her wings wrapped around her, and her arms crossed. She flutters her eyes expectingly, and I sigh happily, carefully patting her head and ruffling her short red hair.

"Yes yes, you did a good job mali" I say sweetly as she closes her eyes and smiles, making a noise akin to what I think a demonic cat would call purring.

She giggles and nods, bouncing away as her body jiggles with every hop she takes. And it takes all of my will to look away from her.

I clasp my hands together and frown as the two bandits look up at me terrified.

"Well now, let us begin, this may take awhile" I say softly as I drag one of my claws down my chin, oh it seems that higa fellow ran off...good for him

Remember, we are Layla now. These are not people, they are meat sacks of blood, information, and amusement. Their pain is our motivation. And getting information too I guess.

>>49086664

I think you misunderstand Layla a bit if you think she considered her victims not people. She did consider them people, that just doesn't mean anything to her.

Let's do this without relying on mommy and our heritage

Although both are legitimate ways to terrify people.

>>49086695
Fair point, that's more accurate to her, I think. I'm just trying to gt everyone back in the sociopath mood, not that I need to of course.

And we should drain both of them once they give us everything else, free powers are awesome.

But the entire point of what we;re about to do is to get INTO the Layla mindset. What reason would we have to deny ourselves power other than what this guy >>49086751 said? (Which is a completely valid point BTW, but I don't think Eli is going to care about two grunts like them.)

>>49086774
>I highly doubt Iris would do that
Eh, she's shown to be fairly nonchalant about that and these guys are murderous thugs. You'd be probably right with random innocents, but not with people that kinda deserve killing either way.

"And I will admit" I say as I stand between the two of them and tilt my head "this is the first time I'm doing anything like this, so I might not get it right but heh, but"

I smile and lick my fags as I look down at them and give them a good old terrifying Miller grin, even though theirs no real emotions behind it at all, well maybe their is..I feel..something in me, not a desire or anything like that, its an emotion..violent want? Yes, closest thing to it I guess, a pining really. I need to know if this scourge is Elizabeth, and I need to know it now. My gaze narrows into a cool glare.

"My mother is master at it, she's explained it to me before, demonstrated what she has done to people before" I say as I crouch down, and place my claws on their neck "So many awful things, even before she was a monster, locking people away from any contact but her and people just as bad, depriving them of sleep, movement, cutting them up for fun was just the start of it"

I rock my head back and forth, digging my nails just deep enough to draw blood and make it hard for them to breath. Not enough to cause real harm, but enough to panic them.

"Yes yes, simple stuff really, wearing down their sanity with pain and over stimulation" I say nodding slowly "But she always said that the key was breaking them, see she has always said torture doesn't work most of the time, unless you break your toys"

I pull my fingers closed, looking at the girls horrified expression

"Yes, once she figured that out she...really let her sadism go wild, see cause torture is about hurting people, it gets you answers if they're cowards or easily broken" I say flatly as the wind blows into my wings, making them puff out "But otherwise it's nothing but intimidation, a scare tactic...now I don't think your wills are up to it, I know of plenty of ways to hurt people, where the biggest nerve clusters are, what organs you don't need to live even as a monster"

>>49086959
I drag my claws down their chest, hearing both of them groan in pain as their skin and flesh sticks to the bottom of my nails.

"I could rip out your veins, and cripple you with one well placed knife stab, sounds horrible doesn't it, I could ruin your faces and bodies, but that's a mercy compared to mother" I giggle "Mother loves her torture, she's...well she's an artist with it, especially if you get her mad, see that's when she gets creative, popping your friends like over filled balloons of flesh, ripping them apart with out touching them, skinning parts of your body and sewing the pieces back after they start to rot"

Both of them begin to squirm

"Yes, when she's mad a demon is preferable" I say calmly "and if you don't eventually tell her what you want, she'll eat your soul and make it talk, even if she has to...digest it"

I stab my claws down as thick, syrupy liquid drips out of the back of my hand, colored into various bright, noticeable shades and hues, so they can see it and know I'm doing something to them.

"Yes I assume you've figured out WHO mama is" I giggle, trying to sound like Mali when she gets excited "Layla Miller, the queen of all monsters, she who turns armies into seas of blood, the holder of the army of the dead, the brausr, the mother of the hell cats, bla bla bla, she has so many titles, most of which don't even fit her, but it works...it works well to make people scared of her, they make their minds think she's more than she is, and you know whats the really scary part"

they're both pale now, as I actually start introducing weak toxins in their blood, to make them just a little sick, but with my magic I make them feel it like I'm pouring molten glass in their veins. They whimper weakly and I frown.
cont

>>49087107

"Most of the stories about her don't exaggerate much at all" I say flatly, smiling as I clear my throat "Annnny ways, I'm going to be shutting your bodies down slowly until I get what I want, a very soft torture compared to what I could do, but I...well I don't want to break my aunts things, if you do work under her, if not your useless to me"

"Waaait" the stone ogre manages to cough out "Waaait, we..we didn't mean anything we said, it was ...was"

"playful joking" I ask, watching both of them nod with tears in their eyes "Well I'm sure it was, but I really want my aunts back, so answer what my lovely mali asked, and I may not feed you to a aquantince of mine"

"She's...doesn't say her name, but everyone says she's a miller, which is why no one went against her before that other one came around with a grudge" the girl cries out "Cause"

"She refused his offer of marriage...as for a fairy..no she only mentioned a fairy in passing, said something about her sister and" the ogre gasps in pain, wheezing and coughing as his mind starts to give him some symptoms "How she never wanted to see her again"

"Please, we don't know much, we're rank and file" the girl whimpers, crying like a baby as I pull my claws away, blasting the poison on them into sand with a blast of change magic "Don't kill us"

I wonder if that rather huge mispresentation of how Layla acts was due to Iris trying to scare them more, or her having never seen Layla in action and going by stories.
Because really, Layla didn't even particularly care for torture since it requires paying attention to people far more than Layla is willing to give.
She only ever actively tortured Clementine IIRC way early in the story.

>>49087403
Don't think it was that much exegerrated, only ommited that its not so much torture as really really painful killing. And she certainky was a savant at that.

>>49087403
To be fair, Layla was becoming more emphatic to other people by the end of ASQ, at least compared to how she started out. Her family was quite surprised by it when they met back up. And we haven't seen her for 100 years, is it really that much of a stretch to think she perfected her own brand of torture out of boredom at one point? I'm probably giving her a little too much credit, but it's possible.

>>49087462
Main problem with that theory is that it assumes Layla spend prolonged time willingly on a activity that is mutually exclusive with Maria pampering and killing. And how likely is that?

>>49087503
Makes me wonder what Layla is doing these days to scratch that murder itch. Does she do missiins for kicks? Go hunt outside Brausburgr?

>>49087503
Yeah, fair point. Maria is Almost all over reason for living at this point, and the only thing that she actually cares about are her kids and her sisters. But there is a chance that, out of boredom, she decide to use a little of her not-Maria time (about a minute every few weeks or so) to perfect something she already enjoyed: inflicting pain. And that was my half-assed attempt at agreeing with you and trying to keep my point valid, thank you for your time.

"How hypocritical" I say harshly as I stomp on her chest as hard as I can "You take the lives of others but the second yours is threatened you wither away in fear, how disgusting"

both of them are silent to my accusation, so I adjust my glasses and walk a few steps away from them, before I look over my should and smirk. And I can't keep my amusement hidden, so I start to giggle and cover my mouth as the hope fades from their eyes, right before I tell them.

"The only thing I did to you was give you minor stomach cramps and diarrhea..well besides clawing your chests up of course" I says mockingly, before I stab my thumbs into their necks, pumping a bit of magical antidote into them via my claws "Of course I doubt either of you could handle that, so I'll fix you right up"

the ogre gasps and shoots up, glaring at me before I glare back and make him back down like a beaten dog.

"Good, now take me and my companions to the village so I can contact my aunt with your help, I have a lot I want to talk to her about" I say as they wordlessly begin to head off down the road, as I cheer internally, barely able to hold back my excitement.

What do I do?
[] act like a little girl, letting the excitement out
[] get mali and tell her the news
[] try to look my best in preparation of meeting my aunt
[] tell everyone to stay in the cart...just in case

>>49087453
I mean, most of what she said is things she just did to kill people

hell two of the examples were just blood control,

and the only thing most people know about Layla is that nothing fucks with her if they want to survive. Most of what outsiders "Know" Of Brausrburge is rumors and myths

basically how the lucky coin saw her, but on larger scale as she made a world power practically over night and is very reclusive, so

>>49087580
Nah, she probably stalks around the city looking for unlucky bastards when the murder lust reaches a fever pitch, but that would involve leaving Maria. And as we've discussed, her willingness to do that is limited in the extreme.

Lets not inform at home quite yet, Layla still has that minor obsession derangement for Eli, her reaction could be ... volatile.

>>49087633
To be fair Layla was always perfectly willing to leave Marias side for some time to indulge in killing, and she did other things, like the poison club too.

>still disappointed we never reached Grandmaster level
HM did Layla get Grandmaster in poisons in the epilogue

>>49087755
I would think she got Grandmaster in a lot of things, if HM's hyping up of the Lamia blood is any indication.

>>49087775
But thats power, not skill.

I pull on my collar and try to breath deeply and calm down, but I can't I just keep on smiling wider and wider the more I think about it, as a youthful joy grabs ahold of my heart. I'm going to meet two of my aunts, I'm going to get my family back together, and everything will be like it was before they left. Before I was born...I..I hope they're like I've been told they're like. Even if everyone tells me different things about them at least a fraction of it has to be true.

And if it is, well they have to be wonderful people to be around. And will fix the cracks their leaving made..I smile happily and walk over to the open cart door, giggling to myself as I try to not cheer, less I lose my cool and end up acting like a kid.

I turn around and open my mouth to shout mali's name, but I see her holding the bathroom door shut as...naughty noises come out of it. She looks guilty, and grins sheepishly as Kelly sits on the couch, looking angry.

"You let meat get away" She snorts as Mali stumbles as she tries to say something "Also flower is...being flower"

"Er, hey Iris" She squeaks as I smile and hug her, making her squeak as I hold her pillow and soft body.

"I'm going to meet my aunts Mali, isn't that just wonderful" I ask as I look up at her as she looks like she just got away with murder

"Yeah of course it is but..you're not mad at me?" she asks happily, hugging me back and sneaking a grope of my rump in there, not letting go of it as she smiles wider

"Don't push your luck" I say, making her stop quicker than she started "and it's what you need to do to keep sane, so...yes, I'm not mad at you, I just...could you make a mirror so I can tidy up a bit and look proper when I meet her"

She nods, not saying a word as she blushes.

"Oh and could you go back and tell the rest of my family about this" I ask tilting my head as she frowns.

"Do you really think it's a good idea for me to leave?" She asks "I mean this place is kind of horrible"

"You just want to get a bigger meal, don't you sweetie?" I say softly as she blushes and nods

I gotta call itnhere for the night/morning, thanks for running HM and have fun guys.

"Well kind of" She says, swaying back and forth, placing her two lower hands over the door to keep it close as she smiles devilishly

"Well that's fine, you need to eat to" I say nodding as I let go of her and turn away "just make sure to actually do it sometime before we get to the village, would you?"

"I will I will" She sighs, sounding a little annoyed "glad we managed to find them though, I know how much you've been wanting to meet them, I hope its gonna go well"

"I do as well" I say happily as I sit down, and she sits down next to me "Er...what are you doing"

"You don't know what to do with your hair" She says bluntly as she pulls a brush from nowhere "and I don't think you've ever put on any make up since I met you"

"I know...so you want to do it for me" I say, feeling a little nervous as she tugs "That's kind of sweet"

"Yep" She says happily "I mean I've lots of practice with this kind of"

"you're a horrible liar mali, especially for a demon" I sat teasingly "but I trust you, just...please don't make me look like a clown"

"Oh give me some credit, Honey" She pouts "I know how to put makeup on at least"

"We'll see" I say flatly as she grumbles and tugs my hair up, making me wince.

"Just sit still, and relax"She purrs, making me feel at ease and safe "I'll make sure you look even better than usual"

"Heeey" Mali says happily, patting me on the back as we roll down a hill, heading towards the village they were talking about judging from how loud its been, with people smacking the side of our rv and shouting happily "Its not like you could've known you don't have a reflection"

"I knew, I just forgot" I groan, laying my head on her should "But I do look good right"

"Doll you're beautiful" Mali sighs, rubbing my shoulders "just stop worrying, what could possibly go wrong"

"Besides this being a trap, her hating me, the other dragon popping out of nowhere" I say, counting down with my finger lazily "I mean the list goes on and on"

"Just stop worrying" Mali says brushing my hair gently back into place

>I pull my mouth away, wincing as I taste her blood, it's sour, like rotten orange juice.
It took milk to help tone down the taste. And it took awhile for that to happen.

"Thanks" I say as I hug my arms around her neck, nuzzling against it "for everything Mali"

"Oh don't mention it, it's my job and pleasure to help you" She says cheerfully, hugging me back and holding me there as stress and thirst gnaw at the back of my mind.

I grab her shoulders and gulp.

"And I'm sorry, but I need a little bit of...I need to calm down" I say as I sink my teeth into her neck, tasting her sour blood, that tastes strangely sweet at the same time but...in a wrong way, like it's rotten fruit filled with sugar and wine.

I sigh and suckle on her neck as she squirms, whimpering in pain as I drink my fill and pull away from her, wincing as the taste turns sour and rotten again. But I feel less nervous.

And Mali is covering her neck, looking a little...worn out from my snack.

"Sorry" I say softly as she pouts and curls up on the couch "I'll just...I'll just go now...er if you want to join me out there, feel free"

"I will, just...need to recharge" She says drunkenly "I don't feel so good after that"

"Yeah I might've accidently drank some of your energy...but it's not much just a little, shouldn't have any lasting effects...sorry again" I say happily as I open the door and step out, feeling heat wash against my face as I see a wall of fire around twenty feet away from me, consuming a good portion of the town.

the only thing stopping it is a trench dug around that side of the city. I take a deep breath, and smell death and ash. I close the door behind me, and walk down the street, armored monsters following after me as the screams of women and children reach my ears and run down my spine, making me feel sick as I keep my head straight, so I can't see them branding them, whipping them or whatever awful perverse acts they're doing to those people.

I close my eyes, and keep walking followed by my silent, intimidating entourage

cont

>>49088668
>>49088684
Welp, I misremembered that. My bad.

And eventually the screams stop, and I'm in a part of the village that has been burnt out already, leaving only a sad broken fountain in the middle of it, and charred corpses desperatly reaching for it, curled up at the base with deep cuts cleaved into the base of their skulls.

I swallow and bite my lip as one of the shoulder taps me on the shoulder

"Stay here, she should be here shortly" He says slowly, like he's trying to remember how to speak.

I nod, and don't look back as they leave me. All I do is sit down on the fountain and stare up at the smoke filled sky. Its worth it...its worth it to meet my aunt, I've waited to long for this to just turn tail and run...its worth it.

Mali

I groan as I sit up, the feeling of groginess vanishing as I find strength back in my arms...I don't know how much blood Iris drank. but I do know it was a good bit of it...not like it matters right? Demons have lots of blood..I think

I shake my head and yawn, waking up as I start to feel a little bored.

turning to the door, I smile

As much as I would like to ruin some lady-bandits, we have priorities right now. Like meeting our aunt-in-law.

In all fairness, she's a Miller. They all have a predilection to their own breed of crazy, to varying degrees. And after burning Brausberg and her fight with Jas, I'm sure she hasn't been doing great with the people she cares about. And we can fix that.

And then frown as I remember I still haven't gone back to Brausrburge for her. I groan and push myself, standing up as I walk over to the mirror I made on the table, stretching and popping out the cracks in my back as I struggle to move with my weight like I did when I first gained it. But that feeling goes away really quickly as my demonic body picks up the slack and starts working right.

I bite my thumb, and drag my blood over the mirror, watching it ripple like water before I dive into it. I fall through the white world filled with all the mirrors I've seen, seeing all the various bits of life going on in it. I see Jenny cleaning one, and Alexander and Vera in one of their games, Vera is missing one of her arms, and Alexander is pinned to a wall by an arrow through his throat.

I can also see Mizuki doing...something with a bunch of candles and blood...creepy.

And in a small mirror, I can see Maria struggling to get her bigger wife into the massive bathtub.

Which do I go through?
[] Jenny's, scare her
[] The twins, they seemed to like Elizabeth, so they should be the best to tell first
[]Mizuki...though I have a feeling I'd regret it

As much as I'd like to see what would happen with Layla, there is a very real risk of her tearing all our limbs off and not giving them back. So it's play it safe and meet with the twins who are trying to kill each other.

This will be interesting.

>>49088964
>[] The twins, they seemed to like Elizabeth, so they should be the best to tell first

>>49088997
Pretty much

Well, I'm pretty sure Layla would do horrible things if I decided to drop in on her when she's in a situation like that. Mizuki might...I don't know but she creeps me out more than most demons I met...Jenny isn't part of the family of course. But the twins..well I've missed them and they seem to like elizabeth from what they've told me about her. Besides I like them anyways.

I grin as I grab onto the edge of the mirror and shove my face through it as they get ready to clash again.

"HIYAAAAH!" I shout happily, before I whine as they point their sword and bare hand at me like they're going to attack me.

"Oh demony!" Vera says happily, grabbing my horns with her remaining arm, pulling me into the hallway as Alex spins his sword around and sheathes it.

Both of them stare at me as I stand up and dust off my body.

"Oh" Vera says jealously "You've grown"

"Good evening Mali" Alexander says boying "It has been awhile hasn't it"

"It just isn't fair" Vera huffs, crossing her one arm "so did you come to rub all this in my face or something?"

"Well, as much as that sounds like her, I doubt it" Alex says calmly "Unless she wants to join our little game that is, I'm guessing our dear sister made some sort of progress or"

"She's in danger, which means we've go to get my arm back out of...Iris' room" Vera says awkwardly as she moves her stump up and down as it drips blood onto the carpet "ehehe...haaa, mind if I go find something to eat in the forest"

"No, even if Iris is in danger, you can't just go eat some random monster in the forest, you must have standards dear sister of mine" Alexander groans, rubbing his eyes as I try to speak up

"I do not have any standards, you know this Alex" Vera says playfully, swishing her tail around as she sways in place "Sides, I need flesh and blood if I want to grow my arm back"

"uuh" I say trying to get a word in as they continue bickering

"You could just get the old one" Alex sighs

"But that's to far" Vera whimpers

"HEY, I cam here for a reason besides watching you to argue" I say angrily, making vera giggle and Alexander bow "I got something important to tell ya"

"Sorry, it was rather rude of us to ignore you" He says as he stands back up, looking down at me "Guess you've been eating well, how is Iris doing"

"Does she have anything to do with this important thing" Vera asks as she tilts her head and cat ears

"Well, kind of" I say smiling "But we've found Elizabeth"

Both of them stop and lean towards. Both of them smiling very Miller like smiles.

"Wondeeeeerfulll" the purr in unison

"I've missed her so muuuuuch" Vera laughs happily

"Yes I will admit that I missed her as well...not her pyromaniac tendencies, haven't really missed those to be honest" Alex huffs calmly as he rips the arrow out of his neck finally

"Oh come on, those are part of her charm" Vera says, smacking her twin's shoulder with her spare arm

"If by charm you mean danger, than yes, they were" Alex says calmly "...and you haven't met jasmine yet?"

Vera's ears droop, and so do Alexader's

"D..did something happen to her?" Vera asks, sounding like an innocent little girl

"No shit" Alex hisses as Vera gets a serious look on her face, which looks weird on her

"Yeah that's kind of bad Demony" She says angrily

"Yes, she's the only one of our aunts who couldn't handle that" Alexander sighs "It's bad enough she's looking for Elizabeth since she was a little more than just mad when she left"

"Yeah, could've said that when you first came through, oh your aunt's probably being hunted by a dragon" vera says, flicking my nose as she regrows her missing arm out of nothing but blood

"Yes, really need to figure out your priorities Mali" Alex says as he sets me down gently "Sorry for picking you up like that but, my emotions flared"

"As they should've" Vera huffs angrily "Still thanks for telling us anyways"

"Yes, thank you Mali" Alex says bowing slightly "Now, I'm guessing you'll be taking us to...wherever you found Elizabeth"

"So we can make sure she doesn't scorch jasmine when we find her" Vera says far too cheerfully

"I was going to ask if you could, you know tell everyone else about this" I say as their red eyes glow as they look me dead in the eyes "Er...well I mean I was going to offer you to come on along actually"

"Good lil sister" Vera giggles as she pats me on the head

"Thank you for allowing me to accompany you" Alexander says "I doubt Iris could convince Elizabeth on her own"

"Yeah, she was pretty pissed when she stormed away" Vera giggles

"that is an understatement" they say as they grab onto my hands "Besides, no offense, but"

"You and Lil sis aren't really dragon slayers just yet" Vera giggles

"And if there's another dragon aiming for jasmine" Alexander says calmly "Well if we can't get Elizabeth to calm down, the least we can do is rescue Jasmine"

"No' they growl in unison

"Sorry, but as crude as it is" Alexander says "I'm going to kill whoever is trying to mess with my family"

"Fiiiiine" I say as I step into the mirror in hallway, as they struggle to fit into it together while holding onto my hands with vice grips "Just be aware its a little weird in here"

"What do you mean?" Alex grunts as he falls through, still holding onto my hand "Huh"

The float up, alex observing the blank space curiously as his tail swishes behind him, as mirrors flow around us, showing what's going on all through where I've traveled. He tilts his head and smiles happily

"Well this is strange isn't it? Dear sister?" He says calmly as Vera struggles to swim through nothingness without going through all of the shards of glass floating around

"Yeah" She says as she kicks her legs happily behind herself, smiling a cat like smile "Hey, demony, think I can make a room here, this is place is fucking awesome"

"Some how I don't think that's a good idea, who knows what would happen if we stayed in here without here" Alex says sternly, tugging on his sisters ear as I fall back first through the mirror in the rv and land on my back.

I smile and hold my arms out to catch and hug the twins, but both of them leap over me naturally.

Alex lands on his feet, and Vera rolls onto the couch laughing.

Alex looks around with a grim expression, his hand firmly glued to his blade as he walks over to the door without saying anything to me.

Vera lays on the couch for a bit, sniffing the air as she plucks the string of her bow. She looks at me suspiciously, wiggling her nose as she stands up

"This whole place smells like sex" She snorts, scrunching her nose up "Just though I'd let you know"

"Hmm?" Alex asks from outside as I'm pretty sure my heart stops for a second

"Oh nothing just" Vera says calmly as she steps out of the way of Kelly as she tries to get a taste of her "Talking with demony"

"Kelly bad" I say sternly as she growls and glares at me like a very badly behaved dog

"Oh, a man eater" Alex says "guessing you have a reason for keeping her around"

"Yeah, probably does" vera says leaping out the door way without missing a beat "and besides, she's lucky, cause I don't have to hunt for beasts for awhile"

"Hey wait up" I say as I follow after them as Kelly grumbles and crawls under the couch

"Oh sorry" Alex says bowing again

"Yeah sorry, but we're in a bit of a hurry right now"Vera says getting down on all fours as she bounds down the street, zipping through the legs of monsters in armor, and humans who look dead in side, all beaten black and blue

"Well, I'll walk with you" Alex says happily, holding his hand out to me, and he frowns when I don't take it, glaring at the bandits who looks at us coldly "Huh, lucky this isn't brausrburge or I'd have to kill all of them"

"Oh think you're so hot" one of them says, before his helm is split in half in a moment

"Yes...yes I do" alex says calmly as he walks down the street, sheathing his sword "Because I actually have the skill to back up any threats I make, unlike you twisted scum"

He glances back at them with a burning red glare, and a cute wiggle of his ears. I look the monster who nearly lost his head, his face is twisted into a gross looking spiral, with no real ryhme or reason to it.

"Eergh" I say as I stick the tip of my tongue out "You should've cut it off Alex"

"Probably" He says calmly as he walks down the street, smiling

"WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT SOMEONE WHO CALLED ME A MONSTER!" An voice I don't know roars like a raging fire, their voice dry and cracked, sounding like the voice of someone who yells a lot.

>>49089725
Well fuck everything, we need to get in there NOW.

>>49089725
Guess Iris may have rolled low then...

>>49089725


I start to pick up my pace and Alex does the same. We start to catch up with Vera as she runs along frantically.

But there's a mob of monsters in our way

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Alex screams, holding his hands out, cracking his fingers.

The crowd turns back, their body getting lifted up like puppets as Alex moves his hands up and throws them out. I watch in awe as all of them slam into the burnt out building along with his motions.

"Tch" Alex growls as he stops along

"Cause she's your sister, she didn't mean it!" Iris yells as I walk behind him, keeping my distance so he doesn't do that to me "It was just a passionate"

"Do you know her?" A woman who looks a bit like Layal growls, her skin is much more tanned than the rest of the millers.

Her arms and legs are covered in fiery red and orange scales, and end in wicked looking claws that look like they could tear flesh apart as easily as butter. Her hair is wild and light brown, her eyes are golden. She has a tail that's coated in fire, and two glorious wings behind her back.

Her face is covered by a vented metal mask, and with every breath she takes, flames pour out of it and vanish back inside of it. And she's furious, stomping one of her feet on the ground as she holds a piece of a broken fountain in her hand.

"She never ever said anything to Layla killing people, never since she met her again how long ago? More than a century"She laughs, a raspy laugh "Never said anything about all the bad she does, probably continues to do knowing her, but I burn people on accident and she calls me a fucking a monster, she's a hypocrit of the worst kind, a bitchy one"

"Elizabeth please" Iris says, sounding like she's about to cry as her aunt glares at her
cont

>>49089835
Well, this is worse than I could have possibly imagined, but not unsalvageable. We can fix this, we just need to not get burned alive by the emotionally unstable Dragon-Girl.

>>49089835

"Look, I'm not trying to ruin your day, but I'm really not in the mood to talk to her right now, come back in another century if you only came here to bring me back for her because she's too lazy and cowardly to do it herself"Elizabeth says, trying to sound nice "But if you didn't and you just wanted to meet me, well nice to meet you Iris, feel free to chat for awhile, hell feel free to join me on my burn fucking everything crusader, WOooonderful way to relieve stress"

"Could you just let me talk" Iris asks weakly as Elizabeth growls "I've been trying to tell you that"

"I don't care what she told you, I'm not going back"Elizabeth hisses "I'm having fun out here, she lost her shit cause I burned a bit of the city on accident, I'm not giving up freedom to go back with her so she can watch me like a hawk, so in all kindess, go"

"LITTLE SIS!" Vera shouts happily, as she pounces Iris

"VERA!?" Iris and Elizabeth shout in unison

"Oh that little fairy bitch better not have come to"Elizabeth says angrily, as fire spreads over her body, it almost looks like her hair actually becomes flames "I am not in the mood for another one of her talks"

"Hello auntie" Alex says, keeping his hands near his sword as she glares at him

I gulp as I realize she stands taller than most of the buildings around us.

"Get off of me" Iris groans flatly

"Hey, I haven't seen you for so long sis" Vera huffs as she picks Iris up like a toy "Besides we have something to talk about"

"Hey! I'm not done talking with her, put me down!" Iris cries out as Vera caries off

"Oh you finally got those hands you've been wanting" She giggles "You two can handle this right? I'ma have a girl chat with our lil sis okay Alex?"

"Dammit vera" Alex says under his breath as His aunt glares at him before closing her eyes.

With the sound of a raging fire, her body shrinks in the flames, bones cracking as her body melts down into a smaller, more human looking one.
cont

>>49089939

"Hello Alexander" She says flatly "I'll apologize to her later...and you must be her friend she was talking about"

"No no, I understand just stay calm" Alex says holding up his hands

"Why, don't want me to burn anything" Elizabeth asks, crossing her arms angrily

"Well, it'd be preferable but" Alex says "Well the thing is"

"Don't give me any of that bullshit that you miss me, you wouldn't have let me leave if you did" She says, swinging her tail into the sand

"That is illogical" Alex says "come on auntie, at least let me explain our situation a bit"

Elizabeth cracks her jaw around and closes her eyes

Alex takes a deep breath and closes his eyes to

What do I do?
[] yell at the dragon for yelling at my master
[] ask her how she became so small
[] let Alex handle it and go look for Vera
[]Tell her how much Iris was looking forward to meeting her
[]Offer her a very large cookie
[] make a pillow to hug for comfort
[] write in

>>49090002
>[] ask her how she became so small

Poor Iris...

>>49090002
>[]Tell her how much Iris was looking forward to meeting her
>[]Offer her a very large cookie
>[] make a pillow to hug for comfort

All of those seem like the reasonable options.

Also:

Vera is going to put an arrow through our skull, wonderful. Well, let's douse one fire at a time, so to speak. We can diffuse the situation here if we handle this correctly, and I think I may have the answer here.

>>49090002
[]Tell her how much Iris was looking forward to meeting her
[]Offer her a very large cookie

>>49090002

>>49090002

[]Tell her how much Iris was looking forward to meeting her

[] Point no one could keep a dragon determined to leave in a place it does not wish to be. At least not without a very big nasty a dangerous fight that would cost on both sides.

>>49090104
This isn't going to turn into a fight. As pissed at everything as Eli is, she's not going to attack her family. And we're not going to attack her for any reason, because she is family, and family comes first.

"You know she was really looking forward to meeting you" I say softly, watching the dragon in a human body lower her head, smoke rolling out of her lips

She doesn't say anything, but it looks like that struck deep, as she shudders for a second and frowns, shaking her head and looking a little guilty.

"Yes, and she isn't jasmine, no reason to take your rage out on her" Alex says sternly, like he isn't talking to a dragon who could incinerate both of us with half a thought, does he want to fucking die, what the hell are you doing alex?

"I know, but...I don't want to go back and see that bitch's smug face, telling me I told you so" Elizabeth huffs, blowing smoke into the air as she crosses her arms "Besides, I have my own kingdom here so why should I go back anyways? I mean sure it's nice there, but a monster like me doesn't want class and comfort"

I wiggle my fingers, watching the golden lines trace through the air, drawing out a blueprint for a pillow as the schematics flow out of my veins, followed by the formulas for all the stuff that makes it up. I grab my bright pink pillow with YES written on both sides in red, and squeeze it, trying to calm down so I don't run off and hide from my girlfriend's aunt.

"You aren't a monster, trust me, I can see the mask you're wearing" Alex says smugly, sticking his hands into his pockets "You aren't like this auntie"

"People change" She says flatly

"Oh please" Alex groans, rubbing the bridge between her nose "Sounding like mizuki, no offense to either of you but...you almost started crying when mali told you about Iris"

Elizabeth growls, fire pluming out of her and Alex steps towards her, so I squeeze my pillow a bit tighter, whispering a good bye to brave bastard as he smiles a very miller smile.
cont

>>49090137
I was referring to her leaving and no one stopping her the first time.

>>49090216
Oh, sorry about that. Eli being the scourge and having a kingdom of ash is kind of setting me on edge.

>>49090189

"Come on, stop acting tough" He says calmly as she glares daggers at him with a murderous look in her eyes "You're nice, friendly, maybe not soft, but you aren't as bad as you're acting, might have ruined this land but...its an act I think"

"And how would" Elizabeth says, before she closes her eyes and sighs "Shouldn't have spent so much time with you an vera"

"Yes I know you don't I" He says happily, leaning back looking very relaxed, which is kind of weird since he's usually all stiff and serious when he isn't risking his ice "but there's more important things to talk about than"

"DO NOT TALK ABOUT JASMINE!" Elizabeth roars as she grows back to at least three times the size I first saw her in, flames spreading out from her as her body grows with a groan and the cracks of several of her bones as her face becomes more draconic as her mask grows and covers the snout forming on her face. She's almost entirely covered in her scales now, and her eyes are pure gold as she stares down at Alex.

He looks up at her calmly and unbuttons his jacket, tacking off his armor with a smirk.

"Like I said, I'm not going back so I can hear her acting all high and mighty acting like I'm the one bad egg" She hisses, steam and flames licking around Alex as he fans himself with his shirt.

"Auntie, She isn't at the castle, she left a week after you did consumed by guilt' Alex says calmly "She's been looking for you ever since"

"What?" elizabeth says, her voice turning from cruel and hoarse to lost and soft "No no no, she would've found me by now and"

"Well, I imagine you're a little hard to track down with...the roving? band of marauders and criminals you have here" Alex says calmly as his giant aunt lays down in the ruins of the city "But she's been looking for you, Iris never met her"

"O...oh" Elizabeth says, chocking up at bit as she closes her eyes

"Or Marla, cause she and Mother got into a fight and she stomped off after it" Alex says grimly
cont

>>49090256
You dun fucked up, So help you if you made Iris cry....

>>49090256
Well, apparently Alex had most of my solution on hand to begin with. Alright I'll just save that for the eventual explosive argument those two will have. Anyway, glad to see the Eli we know and love back at the fore, I missed her. And now we know that Jas is definitely in trouble, and Marla and Layla had a fight for some reason. And we can safely yell at Eli for upsetting our Iris, excellent.

>>49090256

"I..but why did they" Elizabeth says opening up her eyes "they always got along, why would they fight"

"Well...it was called the thirty minute rebellion" I say, burying my face in my pillow

"Well isn't that a cheery name" Elizabeth says sarcastically "So...what exactly happened, don't spare me on the details"

"Well, you two were gone for...what two decades or so?" Alex sighs "And someone got it in their mind to bother us during a nice family dinner, you know how father could calm mother down no matter what was going on? Turns out nothing can calm her down when someone hurt her soul mate, it took her an instant to wipe out all the people who were dumb enough to rebel, and spent the next half hour killing all of their families and anyone connected to them"

Elizabeth's eyes go wide, and she bites her lips

"I would've done the same to be honest, as much as that disgusts me, I would have, I have never been angrier since I saw that rock hit dad square between the eyes" Alex growls, his face turning feral like his twin acts "and Marla didn't like it either"

Elizabeth tries to say something but stops halfway through.

"They fought and the only reason marla left alive is because mom...loves her family" Alex says sadly, sitting down in the middle of streaks of rough glass that have formed around her family "We all do but...without all the pieces we fall apart, we're too different, we need balances"

He looks up at Elizabeth calmly as she looks away guiltily.

"You to Marla" He says smiling happily, but it's fake, there's no way it couldn't be "Jasmine to Layla if you reaaaally stretch it, and vise versa"

"Well that isn't my" Elizabeth starts before she growls, fire flowing out of her mask as she stands to her full height, and clenches her fist, screaming and roaring at the sunless sky "FUCK YOU FOR TELLING ME ALL THIS, OH YEAH JUST TELL ME HOW I RUINED EVERYTHING HUH!?

cont

>>49090400
Aaaaannnd you fucked Alex, hard. I see that this is going to be a thing, we're going to have to step around somethings lest she start glassing shit. We can still fix this though, we aren't dead yet.

>>49090438
>Fucked up

Dammit me

>>49090438
More like Eli is being a major bitch right now.

>>49090464
Maybe a bit, but she has an obvious persecution complex thanks to all that shit with Jas. And she's been her own boss for around 70 years now, running away from her family and her problems. Exploding into rage is just her coping mechanism.

>>49090400
"It isn't anyone's fault, it is everyone's' Alex sighs as he tilts his head and ears "Jasmine for freaking out over one mistake, you for...throwing a tantrum about it, the man who threw the rock for enraging your sister, Marla for refusing to back down and see the problem from another angle, we're all at fault, but we can't heal without the pieces coming back and you!"

Alex stomps up to his aunt, looking furious as she glares down at him, tapping her foot.

"You, oh I'm sorry, but I got to vent" Alex growls "All of our family is eternal, we have years to mature and forgive, but you..no everyone makes me feel like I'm the most mature of all of us besides Karla, it's like none of you ever grew up to be brutally honest"

Elizabeth starts to breath more fire out as Alex glares up at her, as I squeeze my pillow, expecting to see him squashed into a smear in the sand.

"Actually all of us have this problem, I shouldn't try to avoid it, we're in stasis practically, times is nothing to us" Alex sighs, grabbing his forehead "Sorry for lashing out but...You I just..can't deal with that fact you let a petty little thing like a grudge fester until you made my little sister cry over it when she wasn't even there to see it form. When her only dream was to meet her aunts, it almost makes me think Jasmine was right then"

"Don't" Elizabeth says furiously "You dare and say something like"

"Am I wrong, what kind of grown woman makes a girl who's only friend is bound to her soul cry because she couldn't let go, hmmm, auntie?" Alex asks coldly as Elizabeth glares at him, stomping her foot on the ground next to him before she screams to the sky.

Her bones breaking as her body shrinks back down in a whirlpool of fire. She slumps over panting and whimpering, before she straightens back up

"I'm...I'm sorry" She says like a little girl as Alex smacks her head with his open palm
cont

>>49090502
Annnd I think Alex is quite possibly one of my favorite Millers now.

>>49090502
Did he just smack Eli in the face? That crazy bastard. Well, that's one way to bring her back down to earth.

>>49090551
He smacked the back of her head.

>>49090551
Nah it sounds more like one of those love taps.

Though to be fair likely anything he could do would feel like one to Eli, being with scales and shit.

>>49090502

"You should say that too iris" He says flatly "You never needed to say it to me, since I never blamed you for anything"

"Really?" She asks sounding happy as I somehow muster up the courage to walk up to Alex "I thought everyone would blame me after that, it seems like they always do"

"Never did" He says shrugging "Oh, and another dragon is trying to find jasmine"

"WHAT!" Elizabeth roars, nearly burning me to a crisp before I fly up into the air, before the updraft throws me behind her with a thud "WHY DIDN'T YOU FUCKING TELL"

"You would've laughed" Alex says smirking as he walks away "even if you forced yourself to, now if you excuse me I have some justice to"

"Don't...they're mine" Elizabeth says darkly as she grabs her shoulder "besides, this isn't Brausrburge"

Alex glares at her for a second and smiles, moving his hand away from his blade

"Fine" he says nodding "I'll just stop that half beast from eating anyone I guess"

"good boy" Elizabeth chuckles as she nearly walks into me "Oh...guess I should aplogize for nearly crisping you huh"

She looks down at me, horns growing out of her scalp, they're much larger than mine.

"Oh I don't really mind" I say as hold my hand out, working my magic as pink clouds form over my palm "I've had people do worse than me, my lucks actually pretty bad...want a cookie?"

"No" She says smacking her stomach "Watching my figure, even though its easy for me to burn calories, but I don't care sorry...see not a bitch....little, you know he probably ruined my reputation just now"

"I think he was trying to do that" I say smiling as she frowns and smiles

"Ahh, like he could manage it anyways, all these boys are too scared of me to care about what I'm like anyways" She says sounding a bit sad "Ha, getting kind of dull being feared actually"

"well dullness is never good" I say smiling as she walks past me, breathing out smoke

"Hehe, sounds like my sister" She chuckles shaking her head "Bet she hates that"

cont

>>49090578
>>49090571
Well either way, I think we just got a dragon into the party. Not our party mind you, but one third of the original triumvirate has returned to the fold. Ave Layla, and all that. Now, how do we survive telling the family about us and Iris?

>>49090599
Say nothing and let Iris say it herself. She's got a pretty solid testimonial about how terrible we have felt and how much we've resisted.

>>49090599
Make sure Maria finds out first, she's going to find it incredibly romantic and keep Layla from turning our blood into turbo ghoul.

>>49090613
I'd agree with you, but Vera knows. And by extension Alex will know as soon as those two are alone. And they are both very protective of their little sister. And we've damned her to hell twice over with awesome sex. There is a chance that someone (all of them) will freak out in some way and attack us because of this. That is the situation as I understand it.

>>49090633
Attacking us doesn't seem terribly likely, Alex and Vera are both levelheaded enough to realise Iris was headed for the bad place like the rest of them from the start just by association alone.

>>49090592
"well I try to avoid her for my health" I laugh nervously as she stomps past me "So...bad time for us to meet right"

"And for Iris to meet me" She says angrily, snorting out fire "Now don't follow me, I promise I'll...get to know you better later"

"Oh I get it" I say nodding as I walk away to get away from the ticking fire bomb "You haven't had to be nice to people for while, I understand"

"Yeah and making up with my neice is more important than becoming friends with a skittles rainbow" She says flatly "at on my to do list"

"What's a skittles rainbow?" I ask looking back, only something wrap around my neck and pull me to the ground

"Heeeey demony" Vera says as I look up at her "we need to have a veeeery long talk together"

She's drooling like a rabid dog, and even has a bit of foam in her mouth, but she's still smiling happily.

"Uuuh" I say, trying to free any of my arms from her legs to open a door to hell so I can get away, I know why she's doing this "you're going to kill me just for that right"

"No why would I" She pouts, rubbing my cheek lovingly, before slapping it "it's in your nature, and well Iris loves you and I do to, just not in the same way I just...need to set some ground rules"

"Ooooh" I sigh in relief as I bite my tongue so I don't even think about doing anything I'm thinking right now "that's a relief"

"Yeah, first, don't cheat on her unless she's sharing, second, only do it when she wants you to, and third, if you put some demon spawn in her belly, if you try and run off" She cackles as she says the last word "Well I'm an even better hunter than my mother or big sister"

"Oh I wouldn't dream of it" I say "Besides, I like you guys to, I wouldn't want to end up ruining that even if I wasn't....wait..you do know I'm a girl right, you didn't forget that, cause girls can't have babies with other"

"I'm not that stupid!" She says angrily as she lets me go "...and of course they can, how else were we all born"
cont

>>49090652
But what about Mizuki? Or, Emperor forbid, Layla? This guy>>49090621 seems to have the right idea, but if Layla find out first she'll have a parental freak out and tear up apart. Not in a way that we couldn't stitch ourselves back together of course, but still.

>>49090679
Mizuki is cynical as fuck, she would care least of everyone. Layla is probanly the only problem

>>49090663
>you do know I'm a girl right, you didn't forget that, cause girls can't have babies with other"
Really Mali? Really?
You should seriously start thinking more about who you say things to.

>>49090663
Well that's a relief. There's still Layla to deal with. but the immediate threat never existed to begin with.

>"Well I'm an even better hunter than my mother or big sister"


Originally I laughed at that, but the more I think about it, that's probably true. Layla was only above average at stealth, and favored magic and close range rip and tear anyway.

>>49090714
Its been long established that when pressured by a Miller, Mali isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
